Father Asks mother for child support when mother has no money
My mother got re-married and had my little brother with this man. He is now 10, I'm 15 and my sister is 17. (Our father pays child support but not on a regular basis, you can't depend on it)
About 3 years ago they separated and got a divorce. We had custody of him. Then my brothers father filed for custody. We were barely able to afford a lawyer and because 1 piece of paper did not get signed, my mothers witnesses did not get to testify and my brothers father got on the stand and, to put it frankly, lied his off! My brothers father was awarded custody of my brother. At the time we were living with her parents. We now live in our own apartment, me my sister and my mother. My brother comes over every 1st, 3rd, and 5th, weekend of the month. And, somehow we have managed to stay afloat. Today my mother was issued papers saying that my brothers father was asking for child support. CHILD SUPPORT? He has a job that allows him to support himself, my brother, and all his bills. When we had custody of him his father paid child support because we needed it. We have no lawyer, no money for a lawyer, barely enough money to make rent. We were going to file for custody to try to get him back, but again, no money. They are having a conference (CSRP Child Support Review Process) Next Thursday. 2/5/09. At 10:00 am We have no money and if he somehow gets us to pay child support, we will likely have no where to live Please gimme some advice. We don't know what to do.:confused: |

And if he has custody of the child he is suppose to be getting child support, that is the state law. It is based by income. Why would not the non custody parent not suppose to pay a share. I a sorry but of course she is suppose to have to pay a proper amount |

This is one of those posts that makes me sad - you at your age should not have to be dealing with or worrying about this. I'm not patronizing you - your mother is very lucky to have you. |
